Marty_G Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 So brewed and pitched today. Was a good brew day. A tad over 4 hours from filling the kettle to finishing clean up. Took 15 minutes to chill the wort from boiling to 30c with my immersion chiller and only 35 litres of water to get to 70c. Pitched the slurry of Voss into the wort as I filled the fermenter. Pressure started to build after 3 hours, @30c, and 5 hours later it is highly active and the fermenter is now sitting at 12.5psi. The use of pressure ferment and Voss Kviek have really been a positive change to my beer making processes. From my experience this ferment will be over in 48 hours and be in the keg by the weekend to condition. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Titan Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 Small batch looking at 12l for fermenter. Started 3:30pm but shouldnt take long to do. Anglo Saxon IPA. Will post recipe later. Spur of the moment brew using up some grain dregs. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otto Von Blotto Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 Brew day again Saturday, might do the falconer's flight pale ale. I only have a range for the alpha percentage so might just keep them for all the late additions and use magnum or whatever for a bit of early bittering.

I reckon a cashmere Pale with a FF dry hop would be nice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otto Von Blotto Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 First time I've used it, looking forward to seeing how it turns out. Cube and dry hops for sure, along with the usual flameout and ten minute boil. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otto Von Blotto Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 No idea. You'd hope not. Obviously the alpha percentage would vary but the actual blend of hops should stay the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Captain!! Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 Looks like it’s the 7 c hops plus experimental hops every year. So yeah, looks like it does change slightly every year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otto Von Blotto Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 That's a lot of hops in a blend sounds good though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norris! Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 I don't doubt that they change up the blend and proportions but I do think there is 2 types. One has simcoe, citra and sorachi ace, as part of it, the other is all c hops, from my research (looking for hops to buy, the noblest of studies).

QK Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 Talking about FF hops, one of my favourite pales is a Cascade FF mix, Half and half, really good combo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I abbreviated it to FF because, based on this thread, it seemed like the cool thing to do. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norris! Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 I am brewing an Ochre Ale. I want it to have some piney/dankness aroma and flavour to go with the citrus and grapefruit aromas and flavours I am expecting and to balance out some sweetness from the malt. Earthy but bright, like spring in Australia. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naughty Corner Brewing Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 (edited) First brew day on the Brewzilla and started with a ESB. Not too bad actually. Not real sure on the numbers when I set the profile so I just went with the defaults. Ended up 5 points light at 1.055 and slightly low by 1l into the fermenter, which I probably could have made up had I tipped it a bit. Mash was a little thick so probably should have increased my strike water by a few litres, but I left it for a few minutes and was then able to recirc fairly slowly. Nice clean and clear wort though.

Pezzza Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 Brew Day today.... and then I can take the spent malts in to me Horsey mate at work tomorrow... An Altbier of sorts... Pilsener Malt as base malt... bit of wheat and then some dark malts added in late to reduce astringency as Palmer suggests when brewing with rainwater/soft waters... done a bit of a montage up too for those who were interested in the clunky old way of doing things/process/equipment... 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey BB I would be very careful feeding the grains to the horses if at all, they are very susceptible to guts aches when eating different foods to their normal diet especially a large amount of grain that has been wet for sometime(going mouldy) and also roasted. Don’t know how experienced your mate is maybe have a read up to check. Colic can be fatal in horses and also a large vet bill if they get it even mild. If you do it all the time no worries just wanted to let you know to be safe. Cows and chooks etc no worries Looked like a good day rainwater is awesome in pilsners 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerlust Posted May 11, 2020 Author Share Posted May 11, 2020 (edited) On 4/24/2020 at 3:44 PM, Ben 10 said: Can I be critical? IBU perhaps a little too high for the alcohol content? Maybe.... @Ben 10 I have just started drinking this beer now. It has a nice level of bitterness in the same ballpark as the vast majority of my full-strength Pale Ales at the glass, & is in no way excessively bitter. With enough aromatics & just enough malt flavour to carry it, I doubt most would pick it as a mid-strength beer on sampling. The end IBU number is a little deceiving given the main bittering hop used, the technique used for that main bittering addition, & the hop entry points. The best mid-strength beers to drink are those that cast the illusion that they are not mid-strength. The only thing I would change from the recipe I brewed is to not use the Carapils, & up the medium crystal to that combined weight. I only used the Carapils because it needed to be used up. Cheers & good brewing, Lusty. Edited May 11, 2020 by Beerlust 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
